STRIKING TWICE

On Thursday, Johnny Gaudreau scored two goals in the 4-2 setback to the Dallas Stars and is now just one of five players in the NHL with nine or more multi-goal games since the start of the 2015-16 season. He joins Jamie Benn (9), Alexander Ovechkin (9), Wayne Simmonds (9), and Sidney Crosby (11) in that group.
